Hello everyone Can anyone please give me some advise on the following DVD ROM XBOX 360 Backup DVD ROM - Samsung SH-D162C If I purchase this drive and installed it to my PC. I assume I use this drive to extract the files from an original XBOX 360 disc as an image file and then burn it on to a dual-layer DVD+R using any sort of DVD/DL writer and appropriate software / programs. Please correct me if I am wrong. Once the game is backed up, can I play this back up game on my XBOX 360 just like an original? Or do I still need to upgrade the firmware of my XBOX 360 drive for it to read the disc? Many thanks
You still need to flash the 360's drive firmware. If you have a Hitachi 0078FK drive then you'll have to wait because there is no firmware flash for this drive yet. These were manufactured July/August mainly in UK/Australia.
many thanks for your help is there are way to flash the xbox 360 drive without openning the case? how do I go about flashing it? I have a samsung drive. i know there are lot's of tutorial available on the net, but most of them I found is seems quite complicated. If you know the proceedures, could you please explain to me more clearly. are there video clips available to show how flashing is done. many thanks in advance
you will still have to open up the case to flash the 360's firmware. first you will need to buy a PCI card to hook the DVD drive up to your PC. preferably this one: SYBA SY-VIA-150 PCI SATA /IDE Combo Controller Card, Non Raid got mine from newegg.com item number from there was: N82E16815124022 once that arrives, just put it in like a normal pci card. and the next few steps i can not tell you, because i have not flashed mine yet, going to do it this following week when i get back to school and have a little bit of time, but getting that pci card is the first step.
make sure you plug into the sata port away from the back of the pc the one in the back is the secondary port and wont work
I am looking for a tuotial on how to flash my Samsung SH-D162c. All ther tutorials I found just say update and flash the firmware with Kreon but don't say how to doing. Csan anybody explain of write a procidure for doing this?
I just purchased the SH-D162C Samsung DVD Rom Drive. I want to backup 360 games of course, so do i just install the drive on my pc and use clone cd? i have a sony DL burner so i hope i dont need anything else? i know noobs can be annoying, but i want to make sure im on the right track.
After you've installed the drive you have to flash it with Kreon's firmware. To read 360 discs you have to use either Xbox Backup Creator or use Schtrom 3.1 this will make an image of the game. Then burn with Clone CD on a DVD+R DL disc. I've used Verbatim and Imation discs, had a coaster with a TDK.
speaking of TDK, which would be more reliable.. i hate tdk and i use mostly verbatim, but never have burned a DL DVD
Verbatim are by far the best, they seem to burn the fastest aswell. Haven't had a coaster with them yet. I forgot to ask if your Xbox 360 has been flashed, you need to do this to play backups.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EMAIL ME THE LINK TO KREON .81 FIRMWARE I HAVE THE SAMSUNG DRIVE BUT NO FIRMWARE, CAN YOU PLEASE HELP. MY EMAIL ADRESS IS HOTTESTKICKZEVER@YAHOO.COM
